    Offered by Mahila Maha Vidyalaya, Banaras Hindu University

    5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
    Overall, best University for M.Sc. In Bioinformatics Course.
    Placements: In our college, 70% of the students were placed from our batch. The highest package on campus was 6 LPA, and the lowest was 2LPA, the average is 4LPA. Top recruiters were Jubilant Biosys, Roche, Aurigene Discover, etc. In the end, the internship was not as high as the university had promised. The roles assigned were Bioinformatics Analyst, Computational Biologist, and so on.
    Infrastructure: The college amenities were excellent. Comprehensive amenities include multimedia for efficient classroom instruction, digital tools, and access to sporting facilities. The hostel rooms were well decorated. The environment at college is fascinating. The interior roads were relatively smooth, and the rooms were in good condition.
    Faculty: The college has excellent faculty members who have enough experience in their domain to teach you. The faculty was recruited from abroad and industry experts to enhance the learning of the students. Character development was given as much priority as implementation. Modern technology was used to educate students.

    Banaras Hindu University is the best college.
    Placements: Placements are available and it is quite good as many of us present there and participated in all these things. Some companies visit the college for placements. Many students get placed. The average package is approximately 6 LPA. In Geology and Chemistry, we have very good job opportunities just after graduation compared to mathematics and physics. After post-graduation, we have a little chance for placements in maths and physics with a salary package that ranges from 4-5 LPA.
    Infrastructure: The hostel facility is excellent. It has 24-hour light, a mess facility, and purified RO drinking water. A computer library is available for students. Internet facility is available for every student in the hostel.
    Faculty: There are efficient and qualified faculty members at BHU. Every faculty member is well-established in their field of specialisation. Every course offers a very balanced amount of faculty members for the number of students. If a batch has 60 students for Zoology Hons, almost 10-12 teachers are teaching the same, so there is a good division of topics and attention over each student. The course curriculum is very relevant. Things we are taught are the most skillful and to be used things in further studies. The level of education is very good according to the course. We are taught everything. There are also lab facilities that provide practical knowledge hand in hand with theoretical knowledge.

    It is a very affordable college for middle class students.
    Placements: For third-year students, the 4th semester is the minimum requirement for students to become eligible for campus placements. The names of the companies visited in Invertis University Bareilly are Infosys, Tech Mahindra, TCS, and many more companies. The highest package is 41 Lacs, and the average package is 6-9 Lacs. Placement opportunity for the students is almost high.
    Infrastructure: There are many conferences held in departments on a regular basis. The student well-being cell is there, which helps students for their good mental health. Akansha Fest is held in the faculty of science, in which writing essays, poetry, singing, dancing, drawing, and many more things are there to explore yourself in different modes every year.
    Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is 20/1. Faculty and student relationships are more attractive and beautiful. The name of the faculty member is Mr Amritanesh Mishra, sir. I like him very much because his teaching skill is very impressive. 2 exams for the semester and 2 exams for midterms or unit tests in a year are conducted. Exams are not very tough.

    I am satisfied with this college as its faculty members are very good.
    Placements: M.Sc. Physics is a two-year course. The highest salary package offered in M.Sc. Physics was 1.20 CPA in 2023. The average salary package offered is 8 LPA. Mainly EDU tech companies like PW, Fiitjee, Unacademy, etc., visit our college to hire students for M.Sc. Physics. There is a batch of 25 students only.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi connection is available everywhere like in classrooms and hostels 24/7. There is a library named Shreeniwas Das Central Library where you can borrow only two books on your core subject and two any other books. The quality of the mess food is very good. A canteen is available in every hostel. Machines are also installed in every hostel.
    Faculty: Teachers of IIT BHU are very friendly and supportive. They clear students' doubts at any time. They don't judge students based on their doubts. This course is mainly theoretical and for higher studies. Semester exams are of moderate level. Students can easily pass their exams as there is a relative marking system.
    Other: There are various events like Kashiyatra, etc. It is a cultural fest held in January. IIT BHU Campus is an open campus that everyone comes here and enjoys.

    Really amazing facilities and infrastructure of the department, but hostel facilities are average.
    Placements: During my time in this university, 10-15% of students got placed in teaching fields mostly. The average package was 6-7 lacs p.a. Top recruiting companies were educator companies. A very few percentage of students got internships from my course. I don’t have enough knowledge about roles offered.
    Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available for this course are really amazing and helpful during the entire journey of the course. If I talk about facilities like Wi-Fi connectivity, labs, classrooms, and the library, all meet the criteria to be superb. Hostel facilities like mess food and canteen are average. However, medical facilities, sports, and games are really good.
    Faculty: Teachers and staff are really helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, and teaching quality is really superb. Course curriculum is really important, so yes, it makes students industry-ready. The semester exams are not easy in this university, and the pass percentage is 40%.
    Other: I enjoyed the environment of the campus.

    Good infrastructure and faculty.
    Placements: If you're coming for placements, then Banaras Hindu University isn't a top-tier placement giver. Although the highest package in the case of Botany goes up to 9-10 LPA, the placement percentage is low. Mostly, Edtech companies come for placements in Botany, such as Allen, Aakash, Unacademy, etc.
    Infrastructure: The department is good. Classrooms contain A.C., although labs haven't A.C. yet, but they are clean and well-ventilated. Free Wi-Fi is available. Water coolers are available, which are in fully working condition. A departmental library is there, which contains all the necessary books. The library is also air-conditioned. A proper garden with a fountain is there, with a vehicle garage. There is also a botanical garden that is maintained by our department.
    Faculty: Mixed faculty is there; some of them are too good and knowledgeable, while some of them are average. I won't say that the curriculum makes students industry-ready, as there are a lack of some topics that are more relevant in modern industries. Semester exams are difficult—not too much, but yes. Although the passing percentage is high.
    Other: This course was chosen by me because I was interested in Botany from a long way back, and in India, Banaras Hindu University is currently #1 in studies on Botany. Campus life is too good here—close campus, free health facility, free Wi-Fi, free gym, swimming facility, all are available. The campus is neat and clean. There are several playing grounds providing facilities to play all kinds of games. The campus is ragging-free and safe. Fests are minimal here, but events are frequent in departments and hostels.
